The Story Behind "The Pirates of Penzance"

This delightful operetta features a soft-hearted crew of pirates led by the charming Pirate King, a group of lovely maidens, and clumsy yet determined policemen. With its catchy melodies and witty lyrics, it has delighted audiences ever since its debut in 1879, and is considered a staple in theater repertoire. Whether seen on stage or performed by professional troupes, it has reached millions. Are you ready to be part of this tradition?
